I was looking through some of my things today and wondering in some cases what was I thinking, in some cases, why did I not finish that, in some cases who can I pawn this off on.
What is your oldest UFO?Without going into any explicit details, I decided that He is about to be 61 years old.

I'm glad my oldest UFO isn't finished yet...too much fun deciphering new things daily. :P
35301Yep mine would have been 75. Never did get to finish him, but was almost close to perfect. The rest I will not confess to. What is in my UFO box stays in my UFO box. ha, ha

But wasn't it a fun project to take out and work on every now and then, Angie?
Please don't tell any deep secrets here. LOL
109774Could I suggest that having made two piles, with items marked 'To finish' and 'Pawn pile or Who don't I like' please do make sure that you remove the label from the 'Pawn Pile/Who don't I like' items before sending them to the people you don't like!! Of course, you do realize that you have created a big problem for yourself......................in that anything you now send to a Cutie Sister will lead to her thinking "I wonder if this has come from her pawn pile?" There may be trouble ahead.............................................................

There is a simple answer to the 'blouse' question. You either have to eat more or go on a diet.............................
173694Is that the next secret sister exchange in the making? LOL If postage was not sooooo expensive, we could start a box and send it around for all to choose what they want and put in what they don't want! Hugs. Nan W

Oh, my! That might actually be fun.
I must admit that mostly my UFO's are because I couldn't figure out just how I wanted to do something, so I let it stimy me. I don't have any that I don't still like, they just have brought out my procrastination m

I'm sure that they would, too. Perhaps a nursing home would have a patient that has little or no family? Now you are giving ME ideas.
23581I am quickly and quietly passing this one before it stops me and I look. I do like the ending 'who can you palm the ufos off onto'

115764Well my oldest UFO is 76!! It will never get done and be perfect. Then yesterday I ran across a set of hand stitched pillowcases that never got finished. So I have that plus many more to work on. I better get busy and hurry as time is passing quickly!! Hugs, Mary

Time does get away from us more and more quickly. It seems like the clock is running faster these days.
33871I have a second Santa Claus quilt to make up out of little cross-stitch squares I got from Becky J's cross-stitch a few years ago! I'll get to it one day. I still have that large one to do too! Love Chris

234500Our local Hospice put an ad in our local new the other day wanting unfinished projects for their day patients. I decided to have a look. After much searching I found 4 cross stitch kits. I took them round but they were refused as the nurse thought they were too difficult. I used to love cross stitch but then I got myself an embroidery machine. The rest is history.........I now have to find someone who would like them

That was very kind of you and how does that nurse know everyone's capabilities? I wish I were there, I'd grab up that Noah's ark. It looks wonderful.
255054Not embroidery as such but..... in the days when little girl babies were dressed in viyella smocked dresses and matching panties I began to sew my first-born daughter a gorgeous little smocked viyella dress. I did the two back side pieces and started to draw up the front dots. That's where I got to when I found that No. 2 baby was on the way and the dress, still at that last stage, is still in the same box, waiting to be finished. Kathy is now 55 years old and so is the unfinished dress. Two more daughters, two more grand-daughters and one great-grand-daughter couldn't spur me on to finish that lovely little outfit..... and these days, who puts their baby girls into old-fashioned classic clothes when there're wash-'n-wear growsuits and thick heavy Size00 jeans to put on their babies? Will I ever dig it out and finish it??????

Please finish it! I'm sure a doll somewhere would love it.
I loathe those baby jeans. Poor little mites must be so uncomfortable in them.

My grand daughter was 14 months before she wore jeans/trousers so there are wee ones about who are in dresses. Then I do have photos of my uncles when little (as was the custom) in very pretty dresses

I'll bet it will be just lovely when it gets finished. You have already done most of the hard work!

I wish we could bottle your energy or ability to sit and complete so much sewing every day.

I made pictures of my UFO's and put them in a nice little tidy folder on my desk top, so that when I wanted to visit them, all I had to do was click and and not drag out. I think they miss me though.
